The ridiculous thing is, that I get spam like this all the time to my usual account, so this didn't even look out of place until I realised it was to an Agora backup list. (No, I didn't tell the spambots about Agora, unless they're webcrawling for people I've emailed to and emailing them as well; I don't have an address book, so it can't be a case of that having been stolen.) For what it's worth, although some of the conferences advertised like this are genuine, most are scams, whose main purpose is to rip off university expenses paying for people to visit the conference. The more dubiously it's spammed, the more likely it is to be a scam, probably. -- ais523
